Bangalore, Nov 12: With state assembly elections approaching, time has now come for 'dissatisfied' politicians to leave their party and join the rival camps. Though officially the current state government still has about six months to continue in power, it seems like Yeddyurappa's move to form a new party may well mean that the government may fall anytime.
Puttegowda and M Vishwanath
Now, JD(S) which was a step ahead of other political parties in initiating the election campaign has faced humiliation in its own native.
Shravanabelagola MLA C S Puttegowda and Sakleshpur former MLA H M Vishwanath are on the verge of quitting the party, which will be a major blow to the JD(S).
The duo have been openly accusing JD(S) leader H D Revanna of dictatorial style of administration and contemplating a shift either to Congress or Yeddyurappa’s yet-to-be-launched KJP.
Yeddyurappa, known to be the political rival of the Gowda family, is said to have lost no time in calling up the two leaders and inviting them to join KJP.
Many other leaders who are fed up with Revanna's alleged dictatorship are set to blow the conch of dissidence.
Puttegowda is more likely to join Congress as he met Congress leader Dr Parameshwara on Saturday, and expressed his willingness to join the party.
